You could go as fas as supercooling the WMI for some extra added punch as well.
i agree, they used meth injection as far back as early wwII with great sucsses. even n/a motors can use it for supree timing advance. it just sucks that you need a system to adjust for spikes and also to retard timing when the alky runs dry.
Just run a decent sized tank with a low level sensor in it so when it runs low you get a warning light.

How hard is it to find the stuff when you need a refill, I have no clue about that stuff.

You're right, The Germans used water/meth and Nitrous Oxide in their fighter planes. Did you know that the old Mercedes and Auto Union GP cars from the '30's ran a Nitro Methane fuel mixture?

Those nasty fuel mixtures were blamed for many of the drivers of the day developing severe respiratory problems, Tazio Nuvolari's relatively early death was attributed to prolonged inhalation of these exahaust fumes.

I'm looking at the Snow Performance Stage 2 Maf kit and the AEM.

but remember that you dont want to tune for the WMI setup. you should get it tuned not using it becasue if it fails, or runs dry, boom goes the engine. so use it on top of the tune for the JRSC :D

Don't run windshield washer fluid. They are horribly unevenly mixed. You want a 49% meth, 51% h20 mix. Windshield washer fluid has been tested and varies from 30%/70% to 70%/30%, from even bottle to bottle. So if you want your WMI kit to work correctly and somewhat uniform, don't use it.

Google 'Boost Juice'. That's what I have (I just bought a case of 6 gallons, for $50... it'll probably get me two years...). It has a perfect mix of 49%/51% the way it should. Every batch is tested. This is the stuff that everyone is in love with and also what Danny from DB Perf said you should run with WMI kit. It's more money than windshield washer fluid, but well worth it in my book.

And it's a 'pretty' pink color ;)
